I have seen that, and I had pretty much the same thoughts as well. Arch isn't quite new either. And as I said, installing from AUR works pretty fine (package is `linux-mainline`, it also compiles the kernel on *your* PC locally, then installs it as a PacMan package). Just compiling manually doesn't. I suppose that's one of the quirks of the distro being installed manually by the user from the very first stage. Not even counting Gentoo though, I haven't tried it out as I'm scared it can explode my laptop as it *compiles the whole system locally*. But let's see how it goes. Thank you so much by the way! -- Beru Shinsetsu
